Kaytee Super Finch Sock 25 Ounces

The colorful, local finches drained this Nyjer filled sock in two days! It lasted through one refill before they had pecked holes it. I just purchased the refillable ones with four re-fill socks. The birds will flock to these socks but totally ignore the metal Nyjer feeder hanging nearby even when the socks are gone for a week.

This never fails go attract tons of Golden finches and it lasts longer than the smaller versions (the smaller/Ave size last about a week, these 2/2.5 weeks)

So it works great but other birds can easily poke/ tear bigger holes into it. If that happens the seed just spills out. Other than that its perfect. Its easy to refill and clean.

This is the easiest bird feeder to use. Just take out of the package and hang up. I live in massachusetts and this bird feed attracts finches and chickadees. It took a few weeks for the birds to figure it out but now I have a group fighting over the space to perch every day.

It gets the job done for the house finches that come to my back yard in Denver. I was also surprised to see a dove eating from what had fallen to the ground one morning. I'm sure it wasn't able to grab onto the sock, but at least it got something out of it. The sock isn't pretty, especially after it gets more and more empty. It gets discolored and a bit weird looking when it isn't stuffed with seeds. It leaves a mess of seeds/hulls on the sidewalk below, so I need to find a better spot for it. The house finches don't go crazy for it; I've seen 3-4 on it at a time, but more often they're eating the black oil sunflower and safflower seeds from another feeder. It has lasted about 3-4 weeks.

The finches love this and so do I. Lots of little holes to access seed from for the birds. No cleaning because you just throw the sock away and hang a new one. I have been using these for years now.

This sock is bigger and better constructed than the one that I purchased last time. It was only a few dollars more and came overfilled with seed. The finches love it.

I have good luck with finch socks. I wasn't concerned with any of the seed leaking from the sock in the package since I always refill anyway. My tip for refilling is this: I put the sock into an old tall vase (like what flowers get delivered in) and use a cardboard tube from paper towels to put into the sock to act as a funnel of sorts. I put my seed into an empty plastic coffee container with a V notch cut into the top. Easy to pour it into the cardboard tube. Just remember to tape the top of the container on the sides! Pour any seed that fell into the vase back into the container and put packing tape over the V notch. Packing tape re-sticks multiple times. HOWEVER, when I took this sock out of the container I noticed that the stitching holding the rope hanger at top was already unraveling. If I had hung this up without noticing, the sock would have been on the ground within the hour. I hand-sewed the rope pocket while the sock was in the vase-otherwise no way do it without losing all the seed. Somehow this faulty stitching got by quality control! I probably will not buy this one again.
